Toward Holy Ground

The second half of life-which we can enter at any age-is that time when we begin the process essential to a mature faith: discovering who we are exploring our relationship with God and beginning to let go. This part of life has a depth and spirituality all its own-a need for structure and rule a tolerance of ambiguity an exploration of limitation and mortality and the deep work of discipline and detachment.<BR /><BR />Margaret Guenther brings her insights as a spiritual director to the gifts and opportunities of those of us who are on this journey to holy ground. In each chapter <I>Toward Holy Ground</I> explores the practical aspects of spirituality in midlife: intercessory prayer a sense of community a rule of life lightheartedness detachment and stripping down preparing for a good death. A final chapter discusses practical aspects of ministry to the frail aged.
